I’d like to think I’ve learned a few things about how precarious life can be, and I take nothing in this new life for granted, especially the man at the center of it. That’s how far in the past it seems, even if I’m well aware that I’m years away from being declared “cured.” It can always come back, so I try to live each day with purpose and determination not to let cancer rule me. A couple of years ago, when I was in the thick of my battle with breast cancer, I never could’ve dreamed of the life I have now in the incredible house in Calabasas that Kristian surprised me with, two happy, thriving kids, a baby on the way and my illness now a distant nightmare that might’ve happened to someone else. I laugh at his impatience and try to take his mind off the agonizing wait any way I can. It’s not fair, he says, to make a man wait so long to meet his child. He keeps saying he can’t bear that it takes almost ten months to make a baby.

Our baby is going to be very lucky to have them as his or her big brother and sister. Later in the year, our foursome will grow to five when our baby makes his or her appearance.

We have Kristian now, and the family we’re creating together is my greatest blessing. I’ve never had a husband, only a partner I lost to drug addiction years ago, leaving me to raise our two beautiful children alone.īut we’re not alone anymore.

He’s my dream come true, my happily ever after, my everything. I wake up on what’ll be one of the greatest days of my life the same way I do every day now, wrapped up in the arms of the man who loves me and my children more than anything.
